Johanna Knutsson

Ep. 1

Guest: Swedish musician Johanna Knutsson is beloved for her techno productions, DJ sets, and labels – including UFO Station Recordings (run with long-time production partner Hans Berg) and ZODIAC 44 (with Luca Lozano) – but the magic ambient sound of her debut album Tollarp Transmissions (Kontra Musik, 2019) revealed her fluency with another side of electronic music. 


Host: Lisa Blanning is an American writer and editor on music, art and culture, as well as a booking agent. She is a former editor at The Wire Magazine in London and Electronic Beats in Berlin – the city she currently operates out of. She is especially engaged in movements in contemporary electronic music and digital art and culture.
